1885-S Morgan Dollar MS-64 NGC
The 1885 Morgan dollar stands as a remarkable artifact of late nineteenth-century American coinage, minted at the San Francisco facility. This particular specimen is certified in Mint State 64 (MS-64) condition, preserving the intricate details of its original strike. Crafted from 0.900 fine silver, the coin contains 0.7734 troy ounces of precious metal. On the obverse, the design showcases a profile of Liberty adorned with a Phrygian cap, where her hair band clearly displays the word "Liberty." This side is framed by thirteen stars, the year of issue 1885, and the classic Latin motto "E Pluribus Unum." The reverse side presents a powerful bald eagle clutching both arrows and an olive branch, symbolizing strength and peace. Surrounding the central image are the inscriptions "United States of America" and "One Dollar," alongside the motto "In God We Trust." The "S" mint mark on this side denotes its origin from the historic San Francisco Mint.
